"Martin Scorsese: A Retrospective" was published by Abrams last month, and its a must-read for cinephiles of all ages. Written by Tom Shone, the book includes anecdotes about all of Scorsese's films and rare, behind-the-scenes photos from his life as a filmmaker. HuffPost Entertainment has 10 of those pictures to share below, from Scorsese's assistant director work on the 1970 documentary "Woodstock" through 2013's "The Wolf of Wall Street." Enjoy!

William Friedkin directed it and he really wanted to make a car chase scene that would beat the one he already did in The French Connection. IMHO, he did. In addition to the car chase, you get a young hot Willem DaFoe and William Petersen!
